"We've been ready for a long time!" Li Jiu called to his brothers to unload the goods. After unloading, the brothers ran into the woods and carried out all the goods they had prepared.

"Here's the money, and here's the goods you wanted."

Qin Yu walked past Li Jiu, and Li Jiu felt a lightness at his waist as his beloved dagger appeared in Qin Yu's hand.

It's become a habit.

No matter how many times I see Qin Yu's skillful techniques and unfathomable strength, it's just damn charismatic.

Why can't he learn Qin Yu's move?

Qin Yu walked to the goods, gently lifted a small hole, examined the exposed contents in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction.

"good."

"Load it onto the vehicle."

Qin Yu said to Xu Li and the others, and the four of them quickly loaded the goods onto the truck. Li Jiu, who was standing to the side, also called on his brothers to help them lift the goods onto the truck.

Qin Yu counted the money he had received, counting it twice to make sure it was the correct amount, and then patted Li Jiu on the shoulder.

"The next time will be in the middle of next month."

"Master Qin, why is it taking so long?" Li Jiu asked, frowning.

"Have you forgotten what day it is next month?" Qin Yu reminded him.

Are you sure you have time to come and pick up the goods?

"I was confused, it's time to harvest the wheat!" Li Jiu patted his head.

"Alright, let's go!" Qin Yu nodded and led Xu Li and the others into the car.

"Take care, Master Qin. We won't see you off any further." Li Jiu and the others waved to Qin Yu.

Ma Zhiming drove his truck, fully loaded with goods, back home. The mountain road he had come by was rugged, but the return journey was surprisingly easy.

Qin Yu took out forty yuan and handed it to Xu Li. "You joined midway this time, so there's less this time. Next month, there will be more."

"Thank you, Master Qin." Xu Li and the other three nodded to Qin Yu, their eyes lighting up.

They didn't do much this time and got ten dollars. Maybe they'll get more next time?

They toil away in the factory for a month and only earn a little over twenty yuan. Now, in just one night, they've earned ten yuan! And it's not even tiring...

Suddenly seeing hope for life, the four of them held the ten yuan they had been given, their hearts filled with warmth.

"I got the money for the first time!" Ma Zhiming exclaimed excitedly.

Qin Yu said calmly from the side, "Don't get excited, focus on driving. This downhill section is a bit more relaxing, but you still need to be careful!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Ma Zhiming immediately stopped smiling and focused on driving.

Xu Li held the ten yuan as if she had received a great favor.

He risked his life for Qinglong, working himself to the bone, yet Qinglong never gave him this much money.

The thought that his wife could stay in the hospital for another half month with just ten yuan brought tears to Xu Li's eyes.

"Why is your wife in the hospital?" Qin Yu asked, looking at Xu Li's agitated state.

"..." Xu Li glanced at Qin Yu and slowly said, "After she gave birth to my daughter, I went out to work. I thought she could be taken care of by my mother at home."

"When I got home, she was already paralyzed in bed, barely alive," Xu Li said through gritted teeth. "My mother resented that she only gave me a daughter and scolded her for not laying any more eggs."

"She wasn't even allowed to rest during her postpartum period, and she was forced to work in the fields, washing clothes with cold water in the dead of winter..." Xu Li's eyes were red with anger.

"So I brought my wife and daughter to the city, even if I starve to death here, I don't want to go home."

"Then what does your daughter usually do?" Qin Yu asked, frowning.

“I asked my neighbor to keep an eye on my wife. She’s in the hospital and will recover in a while. The doctor said her condition will improve a lot and she’ll be able to be discharged.”

Xu Li felt that no matter how hard life was, he could persevere as long as his wife and daughter were by his side.

"Thank you," Xu Li said to Qin Yu.

"This is what you deserve, no need to thank me," Qin Yu said calmly.

Xu Li shook his head. "That's not how it works. We followed Qinglong for quite a while before you, and the most I ever got was only two yuan."

"Master Qin, aren't we taking too much? I'll take five yuan if I want!" Xu Li's words reminded the other three.

They used to earn less than Xu Liduo! Sometimes they didn't even get a single yuan, and they might work for free.

Qin Yu simply gave them ten yuan.

It was indeed a lot; they felt guilty taking it all...

Qin Yu glanced at the four people and remembered that he had given fifty yuan to that treacherous Wang Jianguo. He didn't know whether he should tell them or not.

He was afraid of scaring them.

"Work hard with me! You'll get your share!" Qin Yu patted Xu Li on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Feel free to tell us anything you need!" Xu Li said. "Anything is fine."

"Don't worry! I won't hesitate to help you when I need your help." Qin Yu nodded calmly.

"Let's go back quickly! I miss my wife."

"Hey!" Upon hearing that Master Qin was missing his wife, Ma Zhiming immediately sped up.

By the time the group returned to the county town, it was almost dawn.

Qin Yu asked Ma Zhiming to take him to the intersection, then jumped out of the car.

Ma Zhiming and the others drove away, watching Qin Yu's retreating figure, the four of them exchanging glances.

“Brother Xu, we’re all willing to work hard with Master Qin!” Ma Zhiming said immediately.

"As you've all seen, Master Qin is completely different from Qinglong. He gave us the money so openly! You all understand what that means. I only have one thing to say! If you follow Master Qin, don't think about anything else!" Xu Li's words were also a warning.

It's their good fortune to meet someone like Qin Yu.

He felt that he could receive the respect he deserved from Qin Yu, which was better than following anyone else.

“Definitely!” The three nodded.

After they parted ways, Xu Li went to the hospital.

Seeing his wife lying weak on the bed, Xu Li's arrival made her open her eyes.

Seeing the haggard look on Xu Li's face, Gu Pandi felt sorry for him.

"Going off to work again?"

"Um."

When Xu Li saw that his wife had woken up, he immediately poured her a glass of warm water and served her the water before taking out the ten yuan that Qin Yu had given him.

“Look, it’s a big unity.” Xu Li said to Gu Pandi with a smile.

"Now you don't have to worry anymore, right? Listen to the doctor and stay until the middle of the month, then I'll pick you up and take you home."

Gu Pandi's eyes reddened. In her entire life, apart from Xu Li, no one had ever treated her so well.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Gu Pandi wiped away her tears.

"Hey, don't cry! The doctor said you can't cry!" Xu Li held Gu Pandi's hand.

"You have me, you have our little one! Nothing can happen to you!"

"I'll be fine, I'll definitely take my medicine obediently!" Gu Pandi said earnestly. For him and for her daughter, she would try her best to live.

“That’s right! Don’t worry about money, your man can earn it!” Xu Li looked at Gu Pandi seriously and assured her.

"I believe you." Gu Pandi nodded emphatically.
